As a teacher, you often hear that we don't get paid enough for the job that we do. I happen to agree with this statement. However, being a teacher is a goal that I have had since the third grade. I had an amazing teacher that inspired me to continue her work as an adult. Going into the teaching profession, I knew that I would never be rich. This was no big secret, but at the same time I didn't care. If I did, I certainly wouldn't be a teacher. I believe that I was put on this earth to be a teacher and I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way.
In this chapter I especially found the History of the Single Salary Schedule interesting. My great grandmother was a teacher in the early 1900's so I found it very interesting to see how the process has changed since then.
Generally speaking, as long as I can pay my bills and by things for my classroom, I am not going to fuss much about my salary. There are definitely more important things in life than money (although money is sometimes helpful!) :)
Thanks for reading,
Ashley
